ADVICE

Start With Strict Meat And Water

  • Keep it simple: eat only meat, drink only water, and include eggs if tolerated.
  • Cut dairy mostly and try a strict zero-carb carnivore trial for at least 30 days.
ADVICE

Prioritize High-Fat Cuts

  • Prioritize high-fat cuts and avoid lean-only approaches to prevent excessive protein intake.
  • Eat fatty steaks and preserve animal fat rather than trimming it away.
INSIGHT

Protein Overload Risks Without Fat

  • Excess protein without enough dietary fat raises ammonia and urea load in the liver.
  • That ammonia buildup can cause liver strain, low energy, hair loss, and neurological issues.
